Explanation
Choice A is correct. Industry vs. Inferiority is the typical stage of development for school-age children, who are 6 to 11-year-olds. In this stage, children need to cope with new social and academic demands. When they are successful with this, they feel competent and achieve the industry. When they are not successful, they handle failure, and it results in inferiority.
Choice B is incorrect. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt is the typical stage of development for early childhood, which lasts from ages 2 to 3 years. In Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt, children seek to develop a sense of personal control over physical skills and knowledge of independence. When they are successful, for example, with a task like toilet training, they feel independent, and it leads to a sense of autonomy. When they are not successful, they think they are a failure, and it results in shame and self-doubt.
Choice C is incorrect. Trust vs. Mistrust is the typical stage of development for infancy, which lasts from birth to 18 months. In this stage, children develop a sense of confidence when caregivers provide reliability, care, and affection. When infants do not have that, they will build mistrust.
Choice D is incorrect. Initiative vs. Guilt is the typical stage of development for preschool children, who are 3 to 5-year-olds. In Initiative vs. Guilt, children start to assert control and power over their environment. Success leads to initiative when they feel a sense of purpose, but children who try to exert too much power and experience disapproval end up feeling guilty.
